Last Week's Update
We had a huge update last week.We added over 20 new pokemon between the PTD1 to PTD2 transfers, the mystery gift, giveaway and the new fisherman level. On top of that we had a special easter hunt that will last all this week to get a Shiny Buneary. This also meant a lot of new moves that your other pokemon can also learn. We also had an unfortunate Bidoof epidemic that lasted a whole day! Those fools! There was also three new battles added with the happy fisherman. I added a new thing that will change the battle you will face with the fisherman depending on the day of the week. Shiny Heatran was added as an additional prize that you can now redeem for donating 10 or more for our fundraiser. Last but not least I managed to sneak in some Cosmoids time and added the grass graphics, the bug bite graphic, the win/lose screens, some tweaks on speed, hp and sizes for the enemy units. On top of that I tweaked the hitspot for the bigger bug to scale along with it's size so you don't have to be so close to attack it.

Running
A much requested feature for PTD2 has been the running shoes, so this week I will be adding them in. What I'm thinking now is that you will get them early on in the game, so you will have to go back to Cherrygrove City and talk to somebody to get them. But new players will get them right away after the zapdos fight. You will be able to toggle them on the pokepad menu.

Fishing
Not as highly requested but requested nonetheless is fishing. This week you will be able to get your old rod for just trying one of the fisherman's battles. Then to get the Good Rod you will have to beat all three of the fisherman battles. If you already beat them you won't have to do so again since I'm already keeping track of it. Once you have a rod you just step infront of a water source and interact with it (press spacebar).

PTD1 to PTD2 Transfers - The gang is all here!
This week I will be adding all the Generation 1 pokemon that you can already capture in PTD2 to the transfer. Specifically Jigglypuff, Wigglypuff, Zubat, Golbat, Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victreebel, Geodude, Graveler, Golem, Gastly, Haunter, Genger, and Onix. On top of that any new pokemon added from Gen 1 will automatically get added to the PTD1 transfers. Since we are adding fishing this week. That means Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Krabby, Kingler, Staryu, and Starmie.

Mystery Gift
It looks like Electric is going to win this week so we will get an Electric Mystery Gift and Giveaway. Make your voice heard in the poll above the blog.Cosmoids - Three strikes and you're out!
Last week we added the win/lose screen. Winning is pretty straight forward. Defeat all the enemies. But losing is incomplete. Right now you will only lose if your tower faints, but in reality if you let too many bugs passing by then you will lose. The lucky number will be 3 for this first level. Another thing I want to add this week is a proper fainting animation for units in the game. In PTD1 and PTD2 when something faints it simply disappears. For Cosmoids I want a small animation to play when something faints before it disappears. Just small little touches that help make the game more complete.

That's all I have for you guys this week. I will be getting the part for my new computer this week so hopefully I can set it up and start streaming next week. As always let me know what you think!

One Big issue: Yesterday, I have donated 320 Thai Baht via "Pay With Mobile" option (Boku) and should have received 4,572 Funding MicroCents (the rate was: 2,336 Funding MicroCents for ฿160), in addition to my already donated 5963 Funding Microcents.

My mobile bill shows the donated amount, and I also got a confirmation SMS - saying I successfully paid to "Sam and Dan G", however my funded amount is still at 5963 Funding Microcents :/ I waited a day to see if the payment was being processed or something, but my donated value is still the same... Last time I donated with this Mobile method, I didn;t have any problems. My email is vrachi@hotmail.com, and I hope this issue can be quickly resolved :)

Wait, Sam, you're adding the Poliwag line? Does this mean we're also getting the King's Rock so we can get Politoed? Because I kinda already have a couple of Poliwhirl raised in PTD for this specific purpose.

20 it's not the soft level cap.It's the effective level cap. The effective level cap sets your Pokemon to that level when they are over this level(like your Infernape). Because Sam wants that the game is more difficult to play.

The most awesomw game ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!btw: How do you upload your games???????????

Sam, I have a suggestion for the trading center. I always miss the giveaway pokemon cause I'm also busy with school youknow, or I'm too late for it. So I tried to get one from the trading center, for example snorunt. If you look at what people want for the giveaway pokemon.. They always want shiny starters, shadow pokemon, or legandaries. So my suggestion is that you can request only one shadow pokemon, or one legandarie or something. And also for the give away, a limit for people cause I've seen people with a lot of the same giveaway pokemon.

Sam. There's a bug with tentacool (the fisherman's daily pokemon for today and tomorrow). When I capture a tentacool, and I try to save the game, I'm pointed as "suspicions of hacking" and tentacool dissapear. what can I do??

You think you got it bad? I like Stunfisk, and it's not even in the poll! Of course, that's probably got more to do with the fact that it's Ground/Electric rather than Electric/Ground, but my point still stands. Believe me, speaking as someone whose favorite Pokemon include Dunsparce, Qwilfish, Stunfisk, Weezing, and Trubbish, I know a thing or two about what it's like when nobody else likes your favorite Pokemon.

Sam, will you be adding some of the features you mentioned before?LIke being able to open up certain menu by pressing enter or being able to log in by pressing enter instead of clicking log in.Also, can you make it so that we can pass through most stuff with enters, instead of actual clicking? Like on the main page, when I am trying to get mystery gift pokemon... It's annoying cuz my mouse is broken and my touch pad is stupid.

That's what I'm afraid of. Every time with these polls. Trubbish never wins. Klink never wins. Heatmor's so forgettable Sam actually forgot to add it to the poll. The only reason we have Vanillite in the game is because I was able to convince Sam to do a poll of less-than-popular Pokemon for the Mystery Gift, because I'm pretty damn sure Vanillite would never have won a poll with other Ice-types. I don't remember ever, not even once, backing anything in a Mystery Gift poll that won. Closest I came was voting for Scraggy, who came in second in the Dark poll and became the bonus giveaway for that week.

I can tell that you obviously prefer 5th generation pokemon over others...You see, other generations are much more familiar to a bunch of people, and that's probably why the pokemon you like never seem to win...

I personally guessed that Rotom would get first because of being a legendary Pokemon and I knew Plusle and Minin would get second because of them being a cute pair. but I can still be proven wrong if you guys vote otherswise

You turn down the zekroms, elecitwires, raikous and zapdos' like that? Anyway, Plusle and minun can learn great moves, can learn helping hand and has this awesome ability. And they're way cuter. But I really like rotom. Definitely.

Anyway, couldn't it just be easier to write it down and not have to worry about it If u want I could do that for u somehow. It also makes it easier for other people instead of just having to google it?

No update this week... Setting up my new computer and transferring over all the game files. Running into some unexpected problems with developing the game on the new machine. Should be back next week with a bigger update. Thanks for your patience.

The soft level cap has nothing to do with battling and you can see this (x)y in wild battles (like sentret,...)too, but their is the level cap set to 12 or 20.Soft Level Cap has something to do with the attacks that the Pokemon an learn when they get up a levelthey maybe learn some attacks.But is their level over the soft level cap they don't lean any more moves(with a few exceptions)I hope it helped you to understand this a bit better.

white men doesn't speak sius lenguaje (that's what my teacher said us when we told him and he didn't understand us... exactly what me happens with you, Fábio; what are u talking about an onix trading in the past??)

hey sam my younger cousin is crying first because he doesn't have a running shoes and second because he has no new pokemon ( he meant by mystery gift and giveaway ) so sam please if you can just put out the code and give away ....... for my younger cousin...

Berries are already in game, as is the metal coat. As for other items, Sam is coming out soon with old/good rods, as well as running shoes. Those should be out next week. More than that has not been announced.

No offense, but instant gratification is one of the biggest problems plaguing our society. It would be far more to your younger cousin's advantage to take this opportunity as one for practicing contentedness in waiting. Just saying.

Let me introduce you to a wonderful site for all things pokemon: http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/

Also, bulbapedia and smogon. All three are highly reputable wells of knowledge. Serebii is a catch all fan site that gives out daily news and keeps repositories of information for all the pokemon games and animes, although much of the information for older games is incomplete. It has some useful tools including IV calculators and various styles of pokedexes and attackdexes. Bulbapedia is wikipedia style entries on all pokemon that has much of the same information, but emphasizes the pokemon as individuals a bit more in my opinion, including not only pokedex entries, but compilations of information about the pokemon from the animes. Smogon is a strategy site, emphasizing how to best build and use pokemon in battle.

well if sam can read this my cousin and i agreed that it would be a great idea that if there is no mystery and giveaway this week ...... it would be nice if next week there will be two mystery gifts and giveaway codes ..... just saying

Oh boy, Oh boy I love this game man. PTD1 and PTD2 rocks! I wish I discovered this game when this was just in the beta so I could catch up but anyways I think this game is only for PRO pokemon trainers who are bored playing the usual game. So. . . . whoever you are that reading this, if you don't know all about things and stuffs in pkmn GEN1 up to atleast GEN4, I suggest GTFO of here!!! naaaaahh. . Just kidding, I suggest play the actual game and learn everything first before playing this games of SAM O. :P

can you make an special event for one week (like Buneary's one) but this time to evolve Eevees to Leafeon and Glaceon?Something like an iceberg/rock with moss somewhere, and if you have an Eevee in your team it can evolve?I hope you read the suggestion :)

1.When you look in the Pokedex you see that Rotom is like other legenderies in the near end of the Pokedex number of the Shinnouh numbers(387-493).2.When you battle a Rotom than you hear legendery music and a special battle animation.3. Rotom has a very special special ability like other legenderies(his form changing ability)And unknown is also a half legendery the (when you look in the arceus event in heartgold/soulsilver where you get the special diaga/giratina/palkia egg you see what I mean

It is equally unreliable to take the word from a person I don't know in a blog. If you can find me a few articles proving your statement I'll be able to believe you more. Wikipedia vs. stranger advice = tie (or for some wikipedia (because some parts of wikipedia is actually sited by other sources which I can check))
